How Women Manipulate Through Silence
Silence can speak louder than words and sometimes, it’s used as a tool of control. While both men and women use silence to protect themselves or communicate indirectly, women often employ it as a form of emotional strategy. It’s not always intentional or malicious; sometimes, it’s a defense mechanism.

Riding the Middle Wave
Ever notice how people love to pick sides? It’s like we’re constantly asked to choose between two waves: you're either riding left or right, red or blue, good or bad. But here's the thing—life doesn’t work in black and white. It's mostly paddling through gray. And that’s where the trouble starts when we fall into a sneaky little brain trap called dichotomous thinking.

Keeping the Mind Young: Science-Backed Ways to Slow Brain Ageing
As we age, we often expect wrinkles, weaker bones, or slower movement — but what truly worries most people is the ageing of the mind. Forgetting names, losing focus, or feeling mentally fatigued can be frightening signs that our brain is changing.

The Shattered Mirror
The Shattered Mirror It was 2:37 a.m. when Ethan woke up again. The same sound—sharp, metallic, like glass cracking in slow motion—echoed through his apartment. He sat upright, staring at the tall mirror across the room. His reflection was there, of course, but something felt wrong.

The Echo of Silence
The Echo of Silence Evelyn sat in the dimly lit room, her hands resting on the oak desk where old letters lay scattered. The silence of the house pressed against her like a suffocating blanket.

I Was the Strong One Until It Broke Me
For as long as I can remember, people have seen me as “the strong one.” The dependable friend. The sibling who always listens. The co-worker who steps up when things fall apart. I carried that title like a badge of honor, proud that others trusted me, proud that I could be the one who held everyone together.

The Stranger Who Writes My Dreams
The Stranger Who Writes My Dreams When your own journal stops belonging to you, how do you know what’s real anymore? I have kept journals since I was twelve. They were my safe place, my record of small victories and humiliations, my own quiet history. No one ever touched them. No one was supposed to.
